Best Answer

A thyroid nodule is simply a mass in your thyroid. Hyperechoic is a term used in ultrasound which determines how bright or dark the nodule is. Ultrasound is all black, white, and gray scales, so a hyperechoic nodule would be a mass in the thyroid that is BRIGHTER than the rest of the thyroid tissue.

What does soft tissue is unremarkable mean?

i am a radiologist. in our reports, we must give an indication that we indeed looked at and evaluated everything seen on the image(s). this is done for completeness as well as billing purposes. when we say that the soft tissues are unremarkable, it means 1) we looked at the soft tissues (i.e. things other than the bones on an x-ray) and that 2) they are normal (i.e. no masses, abnormal features, swelling, etc.). so, when we say that the soft tissues are unremarkable that is a good thing. hope this helps.
